Please don't post shallow dismissals to HN, and especially not indignant rants. I realize that's what the internet seems to be for, but we're trying to do better than that here.

Come on dang, this is incredibly tame due to things posted on other threads constantly. Why call this particular rant out specifically?

Simply because I saw it.

We can't read all the comments that get posted here. If you see one that's worse, why not help out by flagging it, or emailing [email protected]?
